DESCRIPTION

The POV.1 is a fully integrated point-of-view (POV) video system that's waterproof, dustproof and shock-resistant. The system includes a mountable camera head, built-in video recorder, wireless remote and software for managing your point-of-view videos.

POV.1 now Standard w/ Wide-Angle Lens

POV.1 cams are available in POV.T packages only.

    The new wide-angle POV.1 opens up the viewing screen dramatically: creating a wider, more stable point-of-view experience for the users. The new imaging head offers a 100 degree field of view, nearly 30 degrees more than the standard imaging head on the first generation POV.1. See detailed optics below. WATCH side by side difference between 110 degree and 73 degree field of view lens.

SOFTWARE

The POV.1 records its videos using MPEG4, so you can use your Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Mac computer to view them.

Mac:

Plug the POV.1 into a USB port or insert the SD card into a card reader in your computer. After a simple installation of quicktime components for MPEG-4, you'll be able to browse all of the videos, view them through Quicktime, and edit them in iMovie!

PC:

Install V.I.O.'s POV Manager software: simple, intuitive software that allows you to view, edit, and share video easily. For example:

    * A “POV Recorder” window shows thumbnails of videos saved on the connected POV.1, and a “POV Library” window shows thumbnails of videos stored on your hard drive.

    * Drag and drop video clips from the POV Recorder to the POV Library to move them between the POV.1 and your computer, or drag onto a play area to play them back in either actual size or full screen.

    * See tags on the timeline during playback, and extract clips to the “Storyboard” window to quickly edit your video.

    * Use the “Share” function to email your clips and upload them to V.I.O. where they can be seen by your friends.

System requirements:

    * USB 2.0 port or SD card reader

    * Windows: Microsoft Windows XP or Vista and a CD-ROM drive
